Bequest from Longtime Concord Resident Helps Fund Patient Care Unit Renovations at Emerson Hospital

Giles’s cousin, John Florio, was a longtime Concord resident who lived a modest life and worked for many years as a custodian at Sentry Insurance Company. His recent bequest, in appreciation of the care he received at Emerson, helped fund the Wheeler 5 renovations. As a result, a special plaque has been installed in recognition of his generosity.
